Leesburg Snow Emergency Route Restrictions Lifted at Noon
Property owners and tenants reminded to clear public sidewalks adjacent to
their properties.
Leesburg, VA (December 17, 2020) – Beginning today at 12 p.m., Snow Emergency Route
restrictions in the Town of Leesburg will no longer be in effect. However, crews will continue to
clear snow from the streets throughout the day.
When Snow Emergency Route restrictions are in effect, no on-street parking is allowed on the
following streets:
King Street, from the Union Cemetery to Country Club Drive
Loudoun Street, from Liberty Street to Harrison Street
Market Street, from Fairview Street to the Route 7/15 Bypass
Property owners or occupants, both residential and commercial, are required to remove snow
from public sidewalks adjoining their properties within 24 hours of a snowfall. If ice is present
and cannot be removed, it should be covered with sand, kitty litter, or a similar substance that
will allow safe passage for pedestrians.
Residents are also requested to clear snow from around fire hydrants and to not shovel snow in
front of storm drain inlets. Snow from sidewalks, driveways, and parking areas must not be
pushed into the street or other Town right-of-way. For more information about the Town’s
snow removal operations, please visit www.leesburgva.gov/snowremoval.
